Chapter 315 What is your relationship with her?
This was Song Zhaoming's first time visiting his girlfriend's hometown. Even though the school's information listed the specific address, he couldn't find the exact location in such a large village and had to ask around.
In such a remote mountain village, there are not many opportunities to see outsiders, especially good-looking and well-dressed outsiders like Ye Wanxi and her friends.
The villagers who were being questioned were initially a little awkward in front of the group, but when they learned that they had come to see Lin Cuihua's family, their gazes instantly changed from amazement and envy to pity.
It's like watching a bunch of suckers about to be ripped off!
Everyone: "..." Just what kind of den of dragons and tigers is this family? How could they have managed to do something so terrifying?
The eldest sister, who was being questioned, looked the group up and down, still finding it hard to believe that Lin Cuihua's family could be connected to these people.
"Who in Lin Cuihua's family are you looking for?"
Ye Wanxi immediately brought up what she had said in the car earlier: "We're here to see her daughter. Her daughter and I were college classmates and roommates, so we're pretty good friends. I never expected that after only a few years, she would..."
When the eldest sister heard that Ye Wanxi and the others had come to see Lin Xiuzhen, she was taken aback and her expression became somewhat complicated.
They believed them and muttered under their breath, "They're here to see Xiuzhen? I told you, besides Xiuzhen, who in that family would know a guest like that?"
After muttering to herself, the older woman secretly glanced at Ye Wanxi, Gao Min, and Song Yulan, especially Ye Wanxi and Song Yulan.
"You two, are you really going to their house?"
Ye Wanxi noticed the change in her expression, her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded, saying, "After all, we were acquaintances. I couldn't see her off when she left. Now that I know, I should at least go and pay my respects to her, to express my feelings."
Seeing that she couldn't dissuade them, and hearing that they were going to pay respects to Lin Xiuzhen, the eldest sister's expression became increasingly subtle: "You're going to pay respects to Xiuzhen?"
Is there a problem?
"No...it's nothing." The older sister didn't dare to say anything more to them, her eyes darting around. "Her house is just about 500 meters straight ahead, turn left at the intersection ahead. You should go back quickly after you've finished your worship, don't stay overnight in the village."
After the eldest sister finished speaking, she slammed the door shut without waiting for anyone to listen.
The Song family members and Gao Min exchanged bewildered glances: "What's wrong with this person? Why did he close the door before he even finished speaking?"
"Just how bizarre is Lin Cuihua's family? Why do people avoid them like the plague?"
Hearing Gao Min say that, Song Yulan pouted and said indignantly, "What kind of good person is someone who can just throw away a child like that?"
Mrs. Song was quite observant, and the behavior of that older woman earlier had left her somewhat concerned.
"Don't you guys think this lady is pretty strange?"
Song Yulan frowned and rubbed her arms, which were covered in goosebumps, with a hint of resistance: "It's not just her, I think the whole village is very strange."
Song Yulan works in art design, so she is more sensitive to her surroundings than the average person.
From the moment she entered the village, she felt that the place was strange and eerie, giving her a vague sense of unease.
This feeling became increasingly intense, especially as the sun gradually moved westward.
Moreover, at this time of day, when many people should be finishing work and starting to prepare dinner, there was not a single person on the village roads.
You can see wisps of smoke rising from the houses, but whenever you walk past these houses, you can't hear any conversation at all.
The oppressive atmosphere, the silence, and the slight feeling of suffocation made Song Yulan instinctively sense a hint of danger.
She hates this place, she hates it so much!
Following the instructions of the older woman, Ye Wanxi and the others found Lin Xiuzhen's house, which was a newly built two-story building.
As soon as you reach the front door, you can hear hysterical arguing inside.
"Hong Liyun, you bitch, you're using my things to support your family again? How many times have I told you, you're not allowed to take anything out of the house. Are you ignoring me? Using my things to do favors, who gave you the guts? Do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you? Believe me, I'll sell you out right now!"
"Lin Junbao, don't go too far! What do you mean by doing a favor? Those are my parents! My parents who raised me for twenty years! Don't forget what you said to me when you married me. You said that as long as I was willing to enter the family, I would be in charge of all the affairs of the household, and I would arrange everything. Anything the family had, no matter how precious, would be mine."
"It hasn't even been two months, has it? And you've already forgotten everything. I just took a bag of grain home, and you're yelling and threatening me? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Let me tell you, I'm not easily scared!"
"If it weren't for the fact that your family owns a house, and your parents are healthy and can work for a few more years, do you really think I would even consider you? Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? What's wrong with me taking some things back to my parents' house? I'm happy to be filial to my parents, what's it to you? If you're so capable, divorce me right now and see who would want to marry a good-for-nothing like you!"
The girl had just finished her sharp-tongued outburst when a crisp slap echoed from inside the room, followed by the sounds of things being knocked over.
"Is it to honor your parents or to honor your lover? How dare you talk to me about before marriage? I was deceived by you all, which is why I unwittingly married you, this shameless slut!"
"You hit me! How dare you hit me! I'll fight you to the death!"
The crowd outside the gate, who had been forced to witness this whole drama, were speechless. Wow, this family is really a mess.
The two inside were fighting so fiercely that it shook the heavens and earth; the sounds of their blows made the onlookers' hearts tremble.
Just then, a middle-aged couple, looking somewhat disheveled, walked over from a distance.
Upon seeing the group of people standing at their front door, he paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Wanxi and the others with a mixture of suspicion and greed as he examined their clothing and jewelry.
"You are..."
Mrs. Song and the others had also noticed the two of them early on, and after subtly observing their faces for a while, they began to have a vague guess in their minds.
"We're looking for Lin Xiuzhen. Is this Lin Xiuzhen's house?"
Upon hearing their daughter's name, both of their expressions changed.
Lin Cuihua was the first to react, staring at the group of people, especially the men, her squinting eyes darting around, as if she were plotting something.
Song Zhaoming and the others felt uncomfortable under her gaze, as if they were being entangled by something filthy, greasy and disgusting, and they couldn't shake it off!
"You're here to see Xiuzhen? What do you want with her? What's your relationship with her?"
